How to do the TRX Resisted Rotation

  1. Attach a suspension trainer to an overhead anchor point and adjust the length so that the handles hang at about waist height.

  2. Stand facing the anchor point and grab the suspension trainer handles with your hands. Walk your feet forward, so your body is leaning back at an angle while arms are fully extended in front of you.

  3. Rotate your body to one side, keeping your feet together, and stack your feet so the side of your bottom foot and the edge of your top foot are in contact with the ground.

  4. Extend the arm on the side you are rotating towards straight up towards the ceiling, while the other arm is holding the suspension trainer handle. Your body should now form a straight line from head to feet, resembling a side plank but with the support of the suspension trainer.

  5. Hold the position for a moment, then slowly return to the center and rotate to the other side, repeating the same motion.

  6. Keep your core engaged, and hips lifted throughout the exercise to maintain proper form. Your head should be aligned with your spine, without sagging or lifting the hips too high.

  7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions or duration on each side. Ensure to perform an equal number of sets on both sides to maintain balance in your core strength.

Remember to breathe consistently throughout the exercise and to perform the movement with control to maximize the engagement of the core muscles and prevent injury.
